Butterfly Kisses

There's two things I know for sure
 She was sent here from heaven
 And she's daddy's little girl
 As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
 She talks to Jesus
 And I close my eyes
 And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
 Oh, but most of all
 For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
 Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
 "Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride"
 "I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried"
 Oh, with all that I've done wrong
 I must have done something right
 To deserve a hug every morning
 And butterfly kisses at night
 ♪
 Sweet 16 today
 She's looking like her mama
 A little more everyday
 One part woman
 The other part girl
 To perfume and make-up
 From ribbons and curls
 Trying her wings out in a great big world
 But I remember
 Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
 Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
 "You know how much I love you, Daddy, but if you don't mind"
 "I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time"
 Oh, with all that I've done wrong
 I must have done something right
 To deserve her love every morning
 And butterfly kisses at night
 All the precious time
 Ooh
 Like the wind, the years go by
 Precious butterfly
 Spread your wings and fly
 She'll change her name today
 She'll make a promise
 And I'll give her away
 Standing in the bride-room
 Just staring at her
 She asked me what I'm thinking
 And I said, "I'm not sure"
 "I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl"
 And she leaned over
 Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
 Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
 "Walk me down the aisle, Daddy, it's just about time"
 "Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy?"
 "Daddy, don't cry"
 Oh, with all that I've done wrong
 I must have done something right
 To deserve her love every morning
 And butterfly kisses
 I couldn't ask God for more
 Man, this is what love is
 I know I gotta let her go
 But I'll always remember
 Every hug in the morning
 And butterfly kisses
